About the review, why not to seize this opportunity to mention the problem of bidi texts in the title elements [1] (as well as for title or alt attributes)? To display correctly in browsers, bidi texts, i.e. ar/he mixed with latin, might be surrounded by the pair of Unicode control characters U+202B (RLE) and U+202C (PDF) to force the RTL directionnality to apply for titles. The corresponding XHTML entities are &x202B; and &x2020C; Could we suggest to XHTML2.0 to add this, for example as a trick, to avoid the problem? BTW, the example in "15.1.3. 15.1.1. Inheritance of text direction information" [2] says: <html dir="rtl"> <head> <title>/...a right-to-left title.../</title> (*) </head> /...right-to-left text... (**/) <p dir="ltr">/...left-to-right text.../</p> <p>/...right-to-left text again.../</p> </html> The "right-to-left-ness" in (*) is not always the same as in (**) Regards, Najib [1] http://www.w3.org/International/tests/sec-bidi-misc-1 [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-xhtml2-20040722/mod-bidi.html#sec_15.1.1.
